home again!!!

Thank you all so much for your prayers for our sweet Forrest while he was in the hospital. He was such a trooper, and he was definitely a hit with the hospital staff! We are so grateful for the excellent care he had from his doctor and so many wonderful nurses. We are even more grateful to be home, and I'm happy to say, he has hardly skipped a beat!  Our schedule is a little off, but we are getting back into the swing of things. Thankfully, he is pretty laid back and seems to be adjusting well.
How can you not fall in love with this sweet little face?

Thanks again for all your prayers, and thanks to everyone who called, emailed, texted, and came to visit us while we were in the hospital. We are blessed beyond measure with wonderful family and friends!

ships passing in the night

This week we entered a whole new realm of parenthood! Our sweet baby developed a high fever late Monday night and had to be admitted to the hospital in the wee hours of Tuesday morning. He was so pitiful, it just broke my heart. Thankfully, his doctor was able to determine what was wrong, and was able to get antibiotics started. He is doing so much better, not quite 100%, but definitely a huge improvement since Monday. We have bought ourselves a ten day stay at the hospital for him to get a complete course of antibiotics. Patrick and I have been swapping nights so that one of us is here with him at all times, so we truly are like ships passing in the night. We are just grateful that his infection can be treated, and that he is already improving. It looks like we will be here until next Friday as long as he continues to improve. We have been blessed with a wonderful doctor and excellent nurses, which we are very thankful for. God has given us lots of "angels" here at the hospital to remind us of His presence! Please keep baby Forrest in your prayers!

(Cover)ed

Do you need a baby gift, birthday gift, or just a fun prize for the little ones in your life? Then get (Cover)ed with these adorable custom hooded towels! And don't forget - it's never too early to start Christmas shopping!
I am thrilled to introduce our first family fundraiser!  We are partnering with (Cover)ed to sell custom hooded towels for children! We had actually scheduled this fundraiser before we were ever matched with Forrest.  Thanks to the generosity of the ladies of (Cover)ed, they are allowing us to participate after his arrival to help offset our adoption expenses.
Each high-quality towel is 54 x 30 inches, with the attached hood measuring 10 1/2 inches long and 15 inches wide. They are large enough for toddlers and big kids, but are also great for snuggling infants. They are perfect for the bath, beach, or pool. The towels come in a variety of colors and personalization options.
Each towel is $25.
Our family will receive over 50% of each towel sold to support our adoption!

If you would like to purchase a towel please email me at callen820@gmail.com and put (Cover)ed in the subject line. You can also leave a comment on this post with your contact information. Cash or check is preferred but Paypal is also accepted. All orders must be placed directly through me in order for our family to benefit from the sale.

To see all the color and design options available for purchase click here.
When placing an order, please include towel color, design color and initial color (if needed). The end date of my sale is Monday, August 22nd. All towels are handmade and will be ready approximately 3 weeks from the end of my sale. If you live in the Columbus area, there will be no shipping expenses. If you live outside of the Columbus area, please include $2 if ordering one towel and $3 if ordering two or more towels for shipping. If ordering 5 or more towels, shipping will be $2 per towel.  If you live in the Columbus area and would like to see a sample please let me know.  I have adorable sample towels available!
Please pass the link to this fundraiser on to everyone you know!  Feel free to post it on your blog, facebook, or via email.  We are hoping and praying to place a huge order on August 22nd!
Lastly, please take a look at the (Cover)ed website. It is a relatively new ministry started by two women in Alabama who have a heart for adoption and the call to care for orphans.  Their ministry helps families like ours to make adoption more attainable.  Thank you so much for your support!
